3. Omaha: Big week for the largest city in Nebraska. Before Peyton Manning's snap count, Omaha was best known as one of the crappier teams in "Bases Loaded" on Nintendo. Oh, I'm literally the only person in the world who made this completely insane connection? Whatever. You do you.

2. Pleated pants:Jim Harbaugh was the No. 1 sales driver of this unfortunate pant-leg design. His wife stepped in, moving the Niners coach to the more acceptable flat-front tan khakis look. Fun fact: 97 percent of men who prefer the pleated look also refer to their pants as "slacks."

What the What?

Here's the upshot of a predictive tattoo: A local news affiliate might do a story on you. That could lead to your name popping up in a few sports blogs, where jerks like me will make a few B- jokes at your expense before the comment section assassinates your character. If you're lucky, the perpetually stoned kid at 7-Eleven will give you a Slurpee on the house.

The down side is fairly apparent. Barring expensive and painful laser removal surgery, you become best known as the guy who made a really bad life decision. You're now this guy. What is that guy going to do with his life now? There are no girlfriends. Anywhere.

NOW, here's the right move if you really want to go this route. It's going to seem like stupid, borderline offensive advice, but I assure you it is legitimate.

Wait until your team wins the Super Bowl. Then get the tattoo. After that, tell anybody who asks that you got the tattoo in December. Hell, say you got it during training camp. Or two years before that.

HOW WILL THEY EVER KNOW? Lying is sometimes underrated.

The Titans are adorable

The person running the Titans' Twitter feed in the hour before Ken Whisenhunt's introductory press conference was like a kid on Christmas Eve. FUN FACTS became the only way to pass the interminable 60 minutes.

Ken Whisenhunt was born on Feb. 28, 1962 in Atlanta, Ga., and grew up in Augusta.

Tweet of the week

Quote of the Week, Part I

"I know a lot of people ask what Omaha means and it's -- Omaha is a run play, but it could be a pass play or a play-action pass depending on a couple things: the wind, which way we're going, the quarter and the jerseys that we're wearing. So it varies, really, play to play, so, that's -- there's your answer to that one."

Quote of the Week, Part II

"If players are scrambling around to learn a new system, good. That's another fire in their rear end."

Hero of the Week: NFL-obsessed pastor

Can you go to Hell for this? If he made it home in time for kickoff, I suppose you could argue it was worth it. On a (barely) related note, here's Homer Simpson in Hell, flummoxing the Ironic Punishment Division.

Villains of the Week: Teams ignoring Wade Phillips

Disappointed not even an interview after 7 straight full seasons of top 10 D with 3 different teams. Last 5 times as D C= playoffs1st yr
